Jared and others, In case it wasn't clear, I believe argumentation about "whether needs or technology came first" isn't a fruitful way forward. More importantly, we should examine what we mean by 'disruption'.
In my comments, I said: "Ultimately, the measuring stick that we ought to use is the amount of impact each (tech vs. design) brings to the innovation process. ... It is much easier to think of major disruptions coming from the technology side. ... To wit, that's why it we call it a "disruption"! It disrupts current ways of doing things. There is an element of surprise in the "disruption", suggesting that the need might not have been there yet." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
